Thank you for strengthening me with power through Your Spirit in my inner being, and letting Christ dwell in my heart through faith. Thank you for rooting and establishing me in your love. Thank you for you will continue to give me the strength to understand with all the saints the breadth and length and height and depth of Christ’s love, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge, so that I may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Thank you God for you are able to do far more abundantly than all that I ask or think, according to the power at work within me, to You be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

Mediatative Prayers Paraphrased from Ephesians 3:14-20

I come to you today-my God, from whom every family in heaven and earth finds its name--and that includes me--your child, held in you care. My heart overflows with reverence and awe, because You’re not just the God of the universe who holds the world together— but you are my Father, the One who knows me completely and loves me. My Father, the One who sees me with all my mess and all my longing. You know me inside and out—the things I’m proud of and those that I am not—and yet You still call me Yours. That blows me away, and it’s why I’m here, needing You more than I can even put into words.

I’m asking You Lord out of your endless love and power, to give me strength through Your Spirit because I want you Christ to settle into every part of my being.

Some days, Lord, I feel so weak. My faith wavers, my patience runs thin, and I stumble over the same old struggles. But I don’t want to stay that way. Fill me with Your Spirit, with Your presence. I want you Christ to live in me—not just visit, but settle in, take root, and change me from the inside out. Let my trust in You grow so strong that it’s not just words I say, but who I am.

Father, wrap me up in Your love. I’ve spent too long chasing approval or comfort in places that leave me empty, drained, restless, and unfulfilled. But Your love? It’s different. It’s the kind that holds me together when I’m falling apart. Help me not just to hear about it, but to feel it—like a warmth that seeps into every crack of my soul. I want to understand how big it is—how it reaches past my failures, deeper than my hurts, and higher than anything I’ve dared to hope for. I know I’ll never fully get my head around it, but open my heart a little wider each day to take it in so that I am deeply rooted in Your love. Ground me in it so I can’t be shaken. Open my mind and heart to understand and feel—the width, length, height and depth of your love for me. Let me be embraced in Christ's love that’s bigger than words. Fill me, God—with all of Your fullness until there’s no part of me left untouched by You.

Flood me with Your presence until there’s no room left for the doubts that creep in or the fears that keep me up at night. Make me whole in a way only You can. Help me to trust You more each day, even when things feel uncertain or confusing. I want to really get Your love—to understand how wide it reaches to cover all my mess, how long it lasts through every stumble, how high it lifts me when I’m down, and how deep it digs to find me in my hardest moments. When life gets tough or I lose my way, open my eyes to see this love that’s bigger than I can wrap my head around.

Lord, I believe You can do more than I’d ever dream of asking. I think of those times You’ve surprised me—when You’ve pulled me through something I thought would break me, or when You’ve dropped a blessing in my lap I didn’t even know to pray for. I trust You’re still at work in me, even when I can’t see it. My plans feel small compared to what You might have in mind. Take them, shape them, do something beautiful with them—for You, not just for me.

So here I am your child, messy and hopeful. I love You—not perfectly, but honestly—and I’m so thankful You loved me first, before I even knew how to love You back. You can do so much more than I’d ever dare to ask or dream. I trust You, Lord, to take my small hopes and turn them into something incredible for Your glory. Thank you for your power at work within me.

Amidst the mess and emptiness of my life—I am clearing a path for you God. Amidst wilderness and desert of my life, I am preparing a way for you Lord so I can live a life fully surrendered to you. Reign in my life then I will see: every low place in my world will rise, every mountain of worry will fall. You will level the mountains and smooth the rough places in my path. My break through is coming as your glory breaks through my life. Everyone will see because you said it. Thank you God for I am confident in you that you will glorify yourself in my life.

I look around and see that you make my life as lovely as the grass and the flowers in the field because you breathe life into it. But it also reminds me how fleeting my troubles are: grass dries up, the flowers drop just like how fleeting my troubles are. Your promises to me will come to pass for your promises are solid, eternal, unshakable.

Lift me up, O God, when I feel weary. You promise that those who hope in You will renew their strength, and I place my hope in You now. Help me to soar on wings like eagles, to run the race set before me without growing faint, and to walk through life’s challenges without stumbling. When my energy fails, be my strength; when my understanding falters, fill me with Your wisdom.

You know the stars by name, and You know me—every detail of my life. Let me feel Your presence as the One who never grows tired or weary, you hold me in your mighty hand.

May Your glory be revealed in my life, and may I trust that all You have spoken will come to pass. I wait on You now, God—renew me, guide me, and let Your unfailing love be my strength today and always.

Keep me humble, Father, and open my eyes that I may see myself as part of Your greater body and the strength to use the gifts You’ve given me to serve others faithfully. According to the gifts you've given me--be it to prophesy, serve, teach, exhort, give, lead, and/or do acts of kindness-thank you for your grace so abounds so I can do them with such passion, cheerfulness, and generosity.

May I love sincerely, hate what is evil, and cling to what is good. Fill me with devotion to You and a heart that honors others above myself.

Lord, give me zeal that never fades, a fervent spirit in serving You. Let me rejoice in hope, be patient in affliction, and constant in prayer. Show me how to bless those around me, to share with those in need, and to be always hospitable.

When I’m tempted to curse those who hurt me, help me bless them instead. Teach me to Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep, and to pursue peace even when it’s hard. Transform me that I may live in harmony with others, not to be arrogant, but always open to associate with those who are marginalized and vulnerable. May I never be wise on my own sight, be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good, and do only that which is honorable. I seek to live in peace with everyone, regardless of their religion, race, social, economic and political background. Grant me the grace not to avenge myself when wronged, for vengeance is yours alone. Grant me the strength and grace to love my enemies or those who have wronged me, I trust You God to guide my every step.

Surely you will save me from the fowler’s snare
And from the deadly pestilence.
You O God will cover me with your feathers,
And under your wings I will find refuge;
Your faithfulness will be my shield and rampart.

I will not fear the terror of night,
Nor the arrow that flies by day,
Nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
Nor the plague that destroys at midday.
A thousand may fall at my side,
Ten thousand at my right hand,
But it will not come near me.

I will only observe with my eyes
And see the punishment of the wicked.
Because I say, “The Lord is my refuge,”
And I make the Most High my dwelling,
No harm will overtake me,
No disaster will come near my tent.

For you will command your angels concerning me
To guard me in all my ways;
They will lift me up in their hands,
So that I will not strike my foot against a stone.
I will tread on the lion and the cobra;
I will trample the great lion and the serpent.

I love you Lord. I trust you to rescue me. I acknowledge your name. I trust you to protect me. I call on you oh God, and you answer me. You will be with me in trouble. You will deliver and honor me. With long life you will satisfy me, and show me your salvation.
